The game scheduled to be played tomorrow at Cairns Golf Club has been postponed to Tuesday 8th March due to the excessive rainfall over the weekend.

I will send another email on Friday 4th March to give you an indication of the prospects of playing at Cairns Golf Club on the Tuesday 8th March.

If you are looking for a game tomorrow 1st March, Mareeba Golf Club have brought forward their Tablelands Summer of Golf game from 8th March. They operate tee offs very much the same as the vets. Report from Mareeba this morning is, they had some rain yesterday afternoon, the course is dry enough to play. They will have preferred lies. For further information call Mareeba G.C. on 4092 1528 or Colin McDowall 4092 1236

I think by this stage everybody living in the Far North has experienced a lot of rain.

I spoke with Cairns Golf Club this morning they are keen to present the course in the best possible conditions for the Vets to play on.

The course at present is very wet, but there were players out there. The forecast is for more rain from Sunday.

We will review the situation early Monday morning, if the conditions are still bad we MAY postpone the game to the 8th March, hoping for some better conditions.

A message will be posted on the blog and emails sent on Monday morning as to the outcome.

If the game at Cairns is postponed, Mareeba Golf Club may bring forward the Tablelands Summer of Golf game from the 8/3 to 1/3, depending on course conditions. I will advise in the Monday email and blog.

Just a reminder, tomorrow Tuesday 15th February the FNQ Veteran Golfers are playing at Mareeba Golf Club. I called Mareeba this morning and the report is, the course is looking great! Hope to see you there.

Don’t forget we will be playing at Gordonvale Golf Club on Tuesday 22ndFebruary.

The game scheduled to be played at Gordonvale Golf Club on the 15th February has been postponed to the 22nd February. The course is quite wet and only the 9 Holes inside the racecourse available for play. If this is still the situation on the 22nd, we will play that inside 9 twice.

Tuesday 15th game will now be played at Mareeba Golf Club, the club which has suffered least from cyclone damage and rain. Of course this will depend on how much rain there is between now and Tuesday. We will keep members informed by email and the blog on Monday as to the conditions at Mareeba.
